I broke down & watched King Cobra tonight. ... And then read EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET about the whole situation, and my god what a mess.

I mean, every part of this story is so interesting, but the movie cuts out key pieces that totally change what's what. (Which is annoying.)

I had known it had happened, yeah, but the facts are so obviously something I'd be obsessed with it so I wondered why I hadn't been.

Then I realized: The murder took place during the two years when I wasn't blogging because I was working for the state in Ohio.

And, yes, the movie is not great. But I didn't hate it as much as it seems like most people did when it came out.

So many historical fiction movies change a lot more than this and are still praised. And, the acting wasn't bad. (Exception = Franco's bf.)

It could have been much better, tho, yes. (And there's all the Franco weirdness around sexuality, but I'm not gonna go down that road.)

Obvi the film doesn't deserve this many tweets, but I'm just getting caught up on ALL of this story right now, so I have a lot of thoughts.

Oops, I meant @kevinpokeeffe, when citing his review! :-( (I watched King Cobra last night, then tweeted about it.)
